Chapter 14

Felicity's POV

I was tired to even cook for our breakfast. Damon ordered food and we are after our erotic shower time. 

I am wearing a floral dress, while he is wearing a gray t-shirt and a denim jeans.

" You think you're mother would like me?" I asked him, while we were in the middle of a traffic.

He glances at me but I looked away.

" Yes of course. Why did you ask?" he asked me back?

Right! I was just curious. Because what if his mother doesn't like me for him? It's not that I will meet his mom anytime soon. Maybe, we already broke up before I could meet his mother.

" My mother like you, she told me that the other day. Remember the pictures of us together, I send them to her. And she appreciated you as my girlfriend." he added.

" Okay," I shortly replied.

He reached for my left hand, while his other hand is on the steering wheel, maneuvering. 

He intertwined our hands and kissed them. I smiled sweetly at him. 

We arrived at the mall. Many people glance in our direction. Why not? It's Damon McCartny Becket strolling in the mall.

" You had a lot of admirers gawking at you huh " I teased him. His arms only wrapped on my waist more tightly.

" Let them be," he said braggingly. 

We went to the supermarket in the mall. I took a picture of Damon pushing the cart full of groceries. 

He looked in my direction, and I immediately took a picture of him, looking at me seriously. 

I laughed and walked towards Damon. He glared at me, but I only smiled widely at him. 

" Oh shoot! I forgot to get Nutella Damon" 

" Let's go and get it. Stop taking pictures of me, so you won't forget what you're gonna buy." he remarked.  

" Shut it! You're handsome in my shots anyway. And it's my happiness to take a picture of you." I honestly told him.

" Damon? " a pretty girl wearing a red fitted- dress asked, and a high heels asked. 

Damon stiffened when he saw the girl. The girl went near us. 

" Hi, I'm Meg.." 

" I have a girlfriend " Damon cut her off.

The girls eyes widened because of what Damon had told her. She looked at me, and raised her brows. Bitch!

" Your mother called me last week, and she had told me that I need to date you." the girl conversed.

" Where's your fucking brain? Did you throw it in the trash bin or did you flash it in the toilet? I told you I have a fucking girlfriend." Damon frustratingly told her.

" Last week? My mom and I talked just last day, and she never told me about that. So, stop your fucking imagination." 

The girl went silent and bowed her head. She seems embarrassed. 

" I thought you..." 

" Shut the fuck up! Leave! I don't even know you, not even your fucking name." 

The girl walked out quickly. I was looking in her direction, and I saw her as she had difficulty in walking in a fast-paced because of her high heels. 

" Let's go " Damon spoke of. 

He grabbed my hands and pulled me to the counter. 

" Don't mind her. She's just.. just one of those desperate bitch." he sighed. 

I scrutinized his reaction, and it looks like he's telling the truth. He looked at my eyes apologetically, and I gave him an assuring smile. 

Though I was flabbergasted when that girl said that Damon's mother wanted her to date him. I don't want to make a fuss about something I actually don't know about. I trust Damon.

" Where do you want to eat?" he asked. After paying for our groceries. 

" Maybe we can just put our groceries in your car first. I don't want you to carry it always while we are still in the mall."  

He raised his two hands full of plastic bags containing the groceries we just bought. Damon nodded and began to walk to the hallway of the mall going to the parking lot.

" After our lunch, we will go back to your apartment and put the groceries in the fridge. Before, going to my condominium." I explained to him. While he was busy putting the plastic bags in his car. 

" No, we will bring it all to your condominium. I'm planning to stay there with you for about one week. If that's okay with you." he told me openly. 

I glanced at him, and he is waiting for my response or reaction. 

" My condominium is small, compared to your apartment. I mean, you might be uncomfortable living there. "

" I'm comfortable wherever I am, as long as I'm with you." He replied, making my heart thumped. 

" Okay. It's cool with me." I agreed upon it.

We decided to eat at the Barbeque House in the mall. The place is relaxing and comfy. There are only a few customers, so our food was served instantly.

" Your mom is living alone in your house in Italy? " he asked. 

We are chatting about our individual lives, and we agreed on asking anything we liked to know about.

I sipped my pineapple juice first, before answering him.

" Yes. That is why I'm worried about her, she is hard-headed when it comes to her medicine, she always skipped it. So, I asked a favor to my cousins and relatives to always check on my mom." I shared with him.

" How about you? Do you usually encounter a situation like what happened in the supermarket earlier?" I can't think of any question, that is why I choose to ask him about it instead.

" Yes. Honestly, I mean obviously.. I am a notorious playboy back then. Girls flocked their way to me. And I admit I am an asshole for enjoying when I see them going crazy over me. I just want to play with their feelings, no strings attached. That's how I wanted it to be, but some girls are just so desperate to earn my attention. I don't like it." 

" What's the difference between me and your girls then?" I asked challengingly. 

Damon smirked at me. Then he licked his lips and looked at me straight in the eyes. 

" My heart only beats for you," he confessed as he touched his chest with his right hand.

I am trying to calm myself, my hold my breath for a second. I can feel my heart pounding inside my rib cage. 

" You're just flattering me with your words Damon," I said almost stuttering. 

" No, I'm serious Felicity. My feelings for you are not just some desire and lust. It's something I can't explain. My heart beats for you and that's a significant feeling, that other girls can make me feel." 

I only chuckled at him. I've got no words to say.  Damn him! 

After our enjoying lunch, Damon and I then went to my condominium. 

It's 1: 16 pm. Damon volunteered to organize the groceries we bought at the fridge, so I let him be while I am changing my clothes. 

I don't have a choice but to wear the black lace sleepwear V-neck babydoll nightgown. I don't have any shirts to wear, I only have dresses and formal attire in my small closet. And it's absurd to wear it while cleaning up.

Damon whistled when he noticed me. His eyes gawked at my body, like a predator prying for his prey.

" Shut it! I'm not seducing you Damon.", I warned him.

" No need to wear a sexy dress to seduce me, sweetie, I'm already smitten to your beauty.", he spoke up. 

I admit I am beautiful, but it's pleasant to hear it coming from Damon.

" Looks like I will be inspired to help you clean.", he added jokingly.

" Let's get started." I declared as I get the broom and dust pan. 

We started to clean my condominium, Damon mopped the floor while I am organizing my things. 

I am sweating bullets now. And Damon takes off his clothes, and now he is topless. Damn! His appetizing and I saw his muscles flexed as he mopped the floor with no compassion. 

" Are you mad at my floor?", I teased him.

" Where's the logic of your question sweetie?", he asked as he put the mop in the pail. 

I shook my head and just continue what I'm doing. He went to the bathroom taking the pail with him. 

After we cleaned my condominium. We decided to watch a movie in the sala. 

I am resting my head on his shoulder, and his arms embraced me. I can smell his perfume attacking my nose, and it seems like this would be my favorite scent.

" On Monday you will have your real work as my Secretary. Is that okay with you?", he asked softly.

" Yes of course. Don't be bias with me Damon, I am your secretary so treat me like one." 

He kissed the temple of my nose and caressed my hair. I'm afraid that everything he makes me feel will fade through time. 

Our night was spend with us cuddling and talking 'til dawn. No doubt, we wake up late in the morning.

" Ah, my arms were sprained.", Damon ranted as he massages lightly his arms. 

I looked at him with amusement in my eyes. We are now at the dining table eating our breakfast. 

" It's your fault, you offer your arms to be my pillow, and you hugged me tightly.", I talked back.

He just smirks at me and licked his lips while staring at me intently. God! I can't believe him.

" What is our activity for today hmm?", he asked. 

" I will do some yoga, it's been a long time since I did it." 

" Okay, I will just watch you then.", he said seriously.

But I think I can't concentrate when he's gonna watch me do it. It's not as if he doesn't distract me easily. Even if he just stares at me, I'm already distracted. 

After our breakfast, I immediately took a bath, while his washing the dishes.

I am now wearing a sports bra and a leggings. I'm on my way downstairs, and I saw Damon getting busy with his phone. 

I placed the mat on the floor, I saw Damon in my peripheral vision, walking towards me. I glanced at him, and he looked at me apologetically, and I wonder why.

" What?", I strike him a question, when I noticed that he's having a hard time to start talking.

" Theo called me and he needed me, that man is fucking broken hearted," he said, and feeling anxious is evident in his tone. 

I understand, boys need someone close to them when they are broken hearted. And it seems like Theo needed Damon this time, after all, they are childhood friends. 

" It's okay Damon." 

" I'm sorry sweetie.." he kissed my cheek before going upstairs to change his clothes.

" Locked your door, I will go home as soon as possible. Bye sweetie." He gave me a kiss before getting in his car. 

" Drive safely!" I shouted as I waved my hands. 

I feel alone now that Damon had left. But, I just concentrate on my yoga to release some negativity in me.

After doing yoga, I decided to take a nap. A ring from my phone wakes up, I reached for it and I saw that someone's unregistered number is calling me. Nevertheless, I answer the call.

" Hello? This is Felicity Centola. How may I help you?", I formally greeted?

The line was silent for a while, and I was to drop the call when I heard a familiar voice. 

" Hello sweetie, I'm just checking on you. How are you? What are you doing now?",  he asked in a low voice?

Funny how cute I found him calling me, when he's not by my side. A curve smile form on my lips, as I was touched by his thoughtfulness to check on me. I really appreciate people who never forget me.

" I'm okay Damon. Take your time, I'm safe here.", I assured him.

" Fuck dude! Join me here, stop being obsessed of your girl. Fuck you!", I heard Theo's voice on the line.

I only chuckled, getting overwhelmed by them. 

" Sorry sweetie, good bye." he sighed before ending the call.

It's already six in the evening, after cooking for dinner. I eat peacefully and satisfyingly. 

I kill my time by strolling on the newsfeed on I*******m and by watching funny video clips. I didn't notice what time I fall asleep.

A sudden warmth hug awakens me, I turned around to see Damon. His face is laid to rest on my chest, I can smell a mixture of liquor and mint on his breath. He's drunk.

" Good evening, I'm sorry I'm late.", he mumbled. Sending a tingling sensation when his lips touched my bare skin. 

" You're drunk.", I stated.

" Yes, sorry. Let's just sleep sweetie."

I hugged him back and his legs tangled with mine. 

" I miss you, Elle." 

That's his last word before dozing off. It alarmed me, I don't know if he is referring to me. Felicity, I have an 'El' on my name, but he never called me that way before.

Before my mind is clouded with the negative thoughts. I decided to let it passed and just don't mind it. Damon is just Drunk. I convinced myself, though there is part of me that screamed and felt pain, awfulness and disappointment.
